- "... total amounts of P2-netrin-G1 were decreased in NGL1-KO mice (Fig. 8A). The reduction of SPM-netrin-G1 was more evident in NGL1-KO mice (Fig. 8B). Consistent with the biochemical data, immunohistochemical analysis revealed a markedly reduced intensity for netrin-G1 in NGL1-KO mice (Fig. 8C)."
- LRRC4C is located at the postsynaptic membrane (Fig.1, see also ticket #2221)
- Interacts with presynaptic netrin-G1 (Fig.1, see also ticket #2321)
- PMID:14595443 shows the adhesive properties of LRRC4C and netrin-G1.
- Conclusion is that pre/postsynaptic netrin-G1/LRRC4C modulate synaptic transmission via cell-cell-adhesion.

Additional literature:Specific and direct interaction of LRRC4C and netrin-G1 on the cell surface.
Surface-bound LRRC4C may promote neurite outgrowth of developing thalamic neurons and that such activity may be at least partially dependent on GPI-anchored netrin-G1 present on the thalamic neurons.
